Pros

I love working at Drybar, I think it's a great environment to be in, and you get to focus on one thing and do what you love. I think this is a great place for people who just got out of school because it helps you become a master at styling while also building a clientele and learning how to interact with clients. The place is beautiful which helps make the experience even better. Depending on your shop, the other employees can also make or break your experience. I think this is a good place to work even if for a day a week along with your other salon job.

Cons

The pay is not very good for all the work that you do. On busy days you literally get handed clients back to back with no breaks in between, and a lot of the time the shop is running behind so the appointment time of the ticket you get handed has already past. On busy days I recommend bringing snacks with you or lunch so you can sneak something in between clients. The tips can be great sometimes but some people can give you just $5 for a blowout that took so much effort from you, but some can give you $15 or $25. You also have to make sure you are part of the experience for them,don't just do their hair, converse with them, so they want to come back to you.

Pros

-VERY flexible schedule -great for students just graduating school -great for clientele building if you rent a salon chair/suite -has the potential to be a really easy, fun job

Cons

-After two years my pay is 9.5/hr, so essentially minimum wage if you live on your own (Tips are hit or miss depending on your skill level/friendliness with client but about $400 worth of tips is average per paycheck for me ) -not ideal for moms due to the fact that no benefits are offered and the pay is not great -promotions are essentially nonexistent -you don't get any scheduled lunch breaks, and can be back to back with clients your entire shift so the likelihood of getting burnt out is high
